We Are On Hiatus Until Fall Fashion Week!

Yes, we know we're getting pretty lame, but what with D.W. planning a charity event and I.M. down and out in San Francisco, we are sucked dry of anything meaningful to write.

But fear not Media Whores! What the Press Pimps taketh away they will once again giveth come Fashion Week.

We will do our best to top our favorite images from Spring Fashion Week 2007. See above.

Just Follow The Yellow Brick Road..

But wait, where's Dorothy, The Lion and The Scarecrow? Jesus, Nicole, if you're gonna dress like The Tin Man, you gotta bring your entourage!

Ok, seriously. Who the fuck is dressing this Media Whore?

The Tea Room thinks the conversation the week before the premiere of Nicole's new Satanic-cult movie, The Golden Compass, went something like this:

STYLIST: I have an idea, let's make Nicole look fat!

ASSISTANT: It's impossible. She's six feet tall and weighs 100 pounds.

STYLIST: Oh, you stupid little maggot. I can make anyone look fat!

ASSISTANT: Really, superior one? But how?

STYLIST: I shall wrap her in head-to-toe silver lame, but it won't be a dress. It will be a suit, like from Dynasty. I will make the pants of the suit have huge seams running down the front. And I will make sure that the jacket is a tad too small, so it looks like it doesn't fit. I will then stick the ugliest grey shirt I can find under the suit, obscuring any flesh that might otherwise protrude from the tight jacket. She will look like shit!

ASSISTANT: You're a genius!

Oh, Lo Ho

Step away from the boots and run towards the pants section, quick!

Happy Birthday Grave Shout Out To Anna Nicole!

Wednesday, November 28th would have been Anna Nicole Smith's 40th birthday. The former playmate and reality star was born in Houston, Texas on November 28th, 1967 and died this year on February 8th of an overdose. Her son died on September 10th, 2006 of an apparent overdose as well. Her daughter Dannielynn survives.

The Tea Room will pop a diet pill in your honor, Nicole.

More Paris News!

Photo: DreamCatchers.com

After keeping a low profile, saving drunk elephants and doing charity work a la Angelina Jolie, the Tea Room was worried that Paris Hilton may have lost her Whore juice. Then we learned about her tantrum backstage at the Victoria's Secret fashion show we were happy ... umm saddened ... to get word that she threw yet another one at the The Beverly Hills Hotel salon and refused to pay $1400 for the DreamCatchers hair extensions being woven into her head. She felt that she was their "muse" and so the mortified salon manager allowed his "muse" to only pay half price.

There's our trusted Media Whore!

Britney Back in Court!

Look how nice we are, posting a flattering photo of Brit instead of the usual cellulite-ridden tart shots we see of La Spears nowadays...

So luxury goods giant Louis Vuitton has won a lawsuit that claimed a Britney Spears video broke couterfeiting laws by featuring a LV monogram dashboard in a pink Hummer.

Sadly ... oops ... we mean luckily, Spears herself was not found guilty, Sony BMG and MTV Online were fined and ordered to stop screening and marketing the video. Apparently the video represents an "attack" on Louis Vuitton's luxury image.

The Tea Room wonders how Britney could be mistaken for not being luxury?

Flu-Killing Fabric

Good news Germaphobe Whores! A scientist has developed a way to destroy the flu virus by using textile dyes in fabrics. Georgia Institute of Technology scientist Stephen Michielsen has filed a patent saying that the dyes release oxygen radicals upon exposure to light which can deactivate the virus. He plans to embed the dyes in fibers and weave them into textiles, which could then be used as filters in ventilation systems, uniforms and aircraft upholstery.

Runny noses are so un-Whoreworthy!

Anne Klein by Isabel Toledo Closed!

Jones Apparel Group put the kabash on the Anne Klein designer line headed by Isabel Toledo. Despite media acclaim received for Toledo's two seasons, the retail group said it will focus on the brand's Anne Klein New York and AK Anne Klein collections instead.

If this photo's any indication, perhaps imitating Tuesday from the Adams Family wasn't in Isabel's best interest.

Think slutty Isabel, think slutty.

Wear Your Next Magazine Subscription!

Yawn...

No shit, really? Talk to us when she gives birth to a baby with two heads and an itty bitty booty.

Help End World Hunger

OK, seriously...

www.freerice.com has created a word game. For each word you get right, they will donate 20 grains of rice to the United Nations to help end world hunger.

May not seem like much but since its launch on October 7, 2007, Free Rice.com has donated 4,181,025,950 grains of rice!

The Tea Room says PLAY PLAY PLAY!!

Back to Life's Important Issues..

While backstage at the Victoria's Secret fashion show, Paris Hilton was up to her usual pre-jail Media Whore tricks. First she threw a little fit, stealing a dress to be worn by another model. Moments later, in tramped Naomi Campbell who did the same EXACT thing to Paris, leaving La Hilton naked.

Fortunately, her birthday suit is her favorite outfit.

Graduate Fashion Week?

The Tea Room thinks the U.S. should follow suit and produce a graduate fashion week just like the Brits. We need more young blood in the tents!

The UK's Graduate Fashion Week has launched an Industry and Media Board, which has so far attracted almost 100 companies to join as it bids to help graduates find employment once they leave university.

Some of the names that have already joined the board include Patrick Cox, Betty Jackson, Mulberry, Ben de Lisi, Eley Kishimoto, John Rocha, Jaeger, Zara, Liberty and adidas, while media support includes WGSN, Glamour, GQ, Elle, Vogue, the National Magazine Company, The Daily Telegraph and The Times.

Ohmigod, They're Back from Planet Krypton to Kill Superman Once And For All!

Please stop scaring us with your creepy ads.

Not that you can tell with this horrific photo, but they want you to know that Viktor & Rolf launched a clothing line with HM and now a luxury leather collection with Samsonite complete with travel bags and accessories to be called Samsonite Black Label by Viktor & Rolf. Said line will be launched in the fall of 2008 and available in stores in spring 2009.

The Tea Room is heading home for the holidays with the Alexander McQueen Samsonite Black Label suitcase and looks forward to being even more travel-worthy with these. Maybe secret Kryptonite compartment will render evil family members powerless.

British Fashion Awards (Drumroll Please...)

Surprise! Stella McCartney has been named Designer of the Year for 2007 by The British Fashion Council.

The Fashion Creator award, re-named to honor the late Isabella Blow, went to Michael Howells. Dame Vivienne Westwood received the Outstanding Achievement in Fashion Design award.

The New Designer of the Year award went to Scottish (shout-out to our skirted bretheren!) designer Christopher Kane. Marc Jacobs received the Retail Concept award for his London store.

The Red Carpet Designer award went to the Marchesa label and Christopher Bailey for Burberry received the Menswear Designer award.

Model of the Year award went to Agyness Deyn (pictured above). Agyness is definitely not Media Whore material, UNLESS she turns out to be a man, which the Tea Room bets any amount of money 'she' is.

Tea and Toys

David Barton Gym's annual Toy Drive for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is on Tuesday, December 11th from 8:30-11:30 PM. DavidBartonGym is located at 215 W 23rd Street between 7th & 8th Ave.

A new unwrapped toy is required for admission. Toys are needed for children of all ages! Kenny Kenny and Adam will be at the door checking the gifts while bottles of V2 Energy Vodka, C&P Wines, and OGO Water will be consumed inside.

The Tea Room raises its glass!

LoHo Rides Again!

LoHo is back! Chances for red Black Friday are high.

So sweet: LoHo was in Manhattan to celebrate Thanksgiving with family, group therapy, and new AA beau (Riley Giles) whom she met in rehab.

She and uber parents Dina and Michael, along with sister Ali (eating disorders to follow) bought goodies at Armani Exchange and Intermix while the new BF slept. Sleep? Why you ask? Well, he was out partying all week without Mizz LoHo. Sounds like a great guy and a wonderful influence.

The Tea Room thinks this one is a keeper!

iPhone Update

The Brits are not buying the much-hyped pricey iPhone according to a new survey. With costs of £269 in the UK ($556.60 in the U.S.) and the fact that many mobile phones are free with a monthly contract in the UK, Apple is gonna have to bend over a little bit more to get its customers on that side of the pond.
